Foundation For Advancing Veterans Health Research

Foundation For Advancing Veterans Health Research (FAVHR) is a non-profit organization and corporate tax-exempt entity registered in SAM.gov since 2012, located in San Antonio, Texas. The organization specializes in providing advanced research and development services, with a primary focus on medical and clinical research targeting veterans' health challenges. FAVHR offers comprehensive research support including staffing, biostatistics, bioinformatics, and clinical trial management services for medical research institutions and federal agencies.

Through federal contract awards, FAVHR has secured two significant research and development service contracts with the U.S. Air Force Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS), each valued at $943,110. These contracts focus on specialized research objectives, including identifying biomarkers of resilience to spatial disorientation and conducting randomized clinical trials evaluating treatment effectiveness for post-concussive syndrome. Both contracts are non-set-aside definitive contracts scheduled for completion in late 2025, demonstrating FAVHR's capability to execute complex medical research projects for federal defense-related agencies.

FAVHR has been awarded multiple federal grants from the Defense Health Agency, including a $2.14 million project grant for a randomized clinical trial examining quetiapine's effectiveness in reducing polypharmacy among post-concussive syndrome patients and a grant for home-based passive heat therapy to improve cardiovascular health in persons with spinal cord injury. The organization has extensive sub-grant partnerships with institutions like the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio and the South Texas Veterans Health Care System, supporting clinical trials involving aeroallergen challenges, dupilumab studies, and collaborative medical research. These grants, primarily under the Military Medical Research and Development program, showcase FAVHR's commitment to advancing medical understanding and treatment for veterans through rigorous scientific research.
